On Art
"I hold that, in the last analysis, the artist must bow to the monitor of his own imagination; must be led by sovereignty of his own impressions and perceptions; must be guided by the tyranny of what troubles and concerns him personally; and that he must learn to trust the impulse, vague and compulsive as it may be, which moves him in the first instance toward expression. There is no other true path, and the artist owes it to himself and those who live and breathe with him to render unto reality that which is reality's."
-Richard Wright to Antonio Frasconi, 1944
"Graffiti has been used to start revolutions, stop wars and generally is the voice of the people who aren't listened to. Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing. And even if you down't come up with a picture to cure world poverty you can make someone smile while they're taking a piss"
